Daxianguan

Chapter 498
"That's right, so I'm also thinking about how to deal with them." Chu Xian was telling the truth. This time, Yaowangguan took advantage of Spring Plague to make trouble. If you make trouble, if you can't deal with the Spring Plague in one state, then Jingzhou will definitely come to investigate the responsibility.

I, the chief official of a state, will definitely not be able to escape.

I have to say that Liumeng's counterattack this time is quite powerful, and it is actually related to the last time it dealt with private banks. Because various prices have risen, the price of medicinal materials has risen. What they said is justified, even if the above After coming down, there is no way to hold Yao Wangguan accountable. On the contrary, I, the governor, must bear the blame.

Right now, when encountering this kind of thing, even Li Ziwan, the daughter of a medical fairy, is helpless. Speaking of Yao Wangguan's actions this time, it is not a clever strategy, but it happens to pinch everyone's weakness. Plague makes trouble.

Even Li Ziwan has a lot of prescriptions for treating spring plague and cold, and there are many simple ones, but even the simplest prescriptions still need medicinal materials. Throat, no matter how good your medical skills are, it is useless without medicinal materials.

And even if Li Ziwan has some medicinal materials in his hand, how much soup can he make?How many people can be saved?
Walking on the road now, there are many people with coughs and injuries, even pedestrians are much less than in the past, which is enough to show that this year's Spring Plague is threatening.

While explaining to Chu Xian, Li Ziwan led Chu Xian to a dilapidated house.

"I rented this place to accommodate some poor and sick people. They can't afford medicine. Under this Spring Plague, I'm afraid few people can survive it." Li Ziwan led Chu Xian at this time Going in, there are four rooms in the yard. Chu Xian saw that each room was full of sick people. You can tell by their clothes that most of them are poor people, and there are even some homeless people. ,Ragged.

And most of these people are bedridden, some are pale and skinny, and will be woken up by coughing in their sleep, and some simply stand or sit, coughing constantly.

Looking at the number, there must be four or fifty people.

"Master, these are treated by Sister Ziwan with her own money. Just now Sister Ziwan bought medicine for these people, but because the price of the medicine has doubled, in this way, the money in our hands will not last long at all." Concubine Luo said time said.

Chu Xian was taken aback.

He was busy with his official duties these days, so he really didn't notice what Li Ziwan and the others were doing. Now it seemed that they were doing their best to help the people of Liangzhou.

"How much did you spend?" Chu Xian asked, but Li Ziwan didn't speak, Luo Fei said, "Master, you know I don't have any money, and Sister Ziwan has already spent tens of thousands of taels."

"So much?" Chu Xian was also taken aback. When he asked carefully, it was really not much. Li Ziwan was kind-hearted. Since she helped others, she would not give up halfway. The soup and medicine expenses for more than 50 people was not a small amount, and For some seriously ill people, the expenses are astonishing.

If someone died and the family couldn't afford the funeral expenses, Li Ziwan would kindly help, and there might be some people who took advantage of Li Ziwan's kindness to swindle money, so it's not surprising that it costs a lot to come and go .

Moreover, since the first day in Liangzhou, Li Ziwan has tried her best to help the common people, seeing a doctor, never taking money, and sometimes she has to pay money to buy medicines.

But it is also because of this, now in Shacheng, Li Ziwan is known to everyone, and he is extremely prestigious.

Moreover, Li Ziwan's good deeds were done in the name of Chu Xian, so in fact, it was Chu Xian's prestige as the governor who was raised.

"Ziwan, you have worked hard." Chu Xian looked distressed. Fortunately, Li Ziwan had a special constitution. When she was young, she was recuperated by Li Fuzi, a medical fairy, with secret techniques. At least now, she is immune to all kinds of poisons and diseases. Don't give birth, otherwise someone else will treat these seriously ill doctors and patients with medicine all day long, let alone infected diseases, the body will not be able to hold on.

Li Ziwan shook her head: "Unfortunately, my strength alone is too weak. Today I will treat 50 people, and tomorrow I will treat another 50 people. I will treat a hundred with one treatment, but it is still not enough. This is treating the symptoms but not the root cause. How to deal with this situation?" Spring plague, you have to figure out a solution."

Chu Xian nodded.

Of course, the government is obliged to do this kind of thing.

In Chu Xian's view, Liumeng borrowed Spring Plague to control the price of the drug market, which is indeed difficult, but Chu Xian is not really helpless.

Anyway, Chu Xian is the governor of a state, with a high position and authority, and there are some things that others cannot do, but Chu Xian may not be unable to do them.For example, go directly to the Demon King Temple and issue an order in the state to purchase the medicinal materials needed for the treatment in the name of the government. In this way, the price will not be high, and the results will be immediate.

Thinking of this, Chu Xian immediately discussed the prescription with Li Ziwan. Because it needs to be brewed in large quantities, it should not be complicated. The medicinal materials should be as simple as possible, but the effect should not be bad. For Zi Wan, the daughter of a medical fairy, the prescription negotiated is of course quite effective, and even such a prescription can be used as the treasure of some medicine shops.

However, Li Ziwan didn't regard it as a treasure, she just regarded this prescription as a life-saving thing, and handed it over without hesitation.

The rest is that Chu Xian finds Li Ji, the chief clerk, and tells his idea. Li Ji thinks it is feasible when he hears it, because if he buys medicinal materials in various cities, counties, and even villages in the name of the government, then No matter how long Yao Wang Guan's arms are stretched out, it's impossible to do anything.

The most important thing is that although there are expenses in this way, relatively speaking, the expenses are relatively small. Maybe 10,000+ taels can solve the problem, and you can also use bank notes from the official bank to trade. Come, you don't have to take out real money immediately, you can solve the problem immediately.

"Lord Inspector, this method is very good, I will arrange it now." Li Ji was very motivated when he heard Chu Xian's words. The long history in charge of internal affairs will inevitably be punished. If there is another large-scale death due to Spring Plague, or even a major epidemic, then he will not have to do this long history.

Therefore, how could Li Ji not do his best when it came to his vital interests.

The state government's order was issued urgently, and it also issued an order with the official banks in various cities and counties to allow the purchase of medicinal materials with official bank notes.

In addition, what the state government issued was a strict order, not a negotiation, and there was no room for negotiation on such matters. For example, how much a county government could purchase was subject to conditions. If it could not be completed, ask the county government officials.

In addition, this is indeed for the treatment of sick people, so even if there are some difficulties, no one dares to shout out.

Within a few days, more than half of the medicinal materials from various places were purchased. At the same time, the state government also distributed the special prescriptions for the treatment of this Spring Plague to the local governments, and ordered the officials in the medical center to brew them and distribute them to the sick people every day.

In this way, the common people no longer need to go to those unscrupulous medicine shops to buy expensive medicinal materials. They only need to drink the soup and medicine provided by the government to cure their diseases. Who would not?

The common people who collected medicines also earned bank notes from the official bank. These bank notes can be exchanged for silver at any time. It is inconvenient to keep gold and silver with you. There are very few people, so the gold and silver paid by the government is almost negligible.

"Huh, what a Chu Xian, he actually came up with such a method, which really made them all happy. But our Liumeng suffered heavy losses. During these days, the business of the medicine store has dropped by more than [-]%. I’m losing money every day.” In the secret courtyard, Wu Chengxiang said, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

He was naturally dissatisfied with Xu Yangqing.

I thought the other party could deal with Chu Xian, but I didn't expect Chu Xian to find a breakthrough in the end and resolve the matter.

But Xu Yangqing who was sitting on the chair didn't have any accidents.

"Hehe, Boss Wu, please be safe and don't be impatient. Chu Xian is not easy to deal with. If it is easy to deal with, we don't have to spend so much trouble. To be honest, he can think of such a way to deal with Spring Plague. As I expected, how did you think that Chu Xian was so young, how did he sit on the throne of governor? There are also rumors in Jingzhou that he is invincible in solving cases by the great master Chu. That is definitely not a wave without wind, so this Things have to be discussed in the long term.”

Xu Yangqing was confident at the moment, and Wu Chengxiang frowned: "What's the long-term plan, the Spring Plague has been controlled by him now, and he used a blank paper like a silver ticket, and didn't pay real money. The most important thing is Yes, we also have no way to let everyone run together and crush the official bank. This kind of thing, even the Six Leagues can't do it. Now, this Chu Xian is clearly the rhythm of meritorious service, let alone the future Drive away, I am afraid that his power will become more and more powerful in the future, if he really wants to deal with the Liumeng, all of us will have a bad life."

"Who said that Spring Plague was under his control?" Xu Yangqing raised his head and asked back at this time, Wu Chengxiang was taken aback, puzzled and said, "Isn't this obvious?"

Xu Yangqing shook his head: "No, no, in my opinion, Spring Plague has just begun. Let me make a hypothesis, Boss Wu, listen to what you think. Let's assume that the decoction provided by the government can't cure Spring Plague emergency, and it can also People will die because of this, and the family members of the dead people will make a fuss again, saying that the decoction of the official talisman does not cure the disease, and it is even poisonous, which killed their relatives. Excuse me, if this kind of thing becomes serious, he Chu Xian, the governor Can I still sit in the seat for a long time?"

Wu Chengxiang reacted, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Miao, Miao, if this is the case, Chu Xian will definitely be reprimanded by Jingzhou, and losing his official position is not a trivial matter."

"So, there is no rush for gains or losses for the time being. The point is to see who can have the last laugh. Daoist Lingjue has already arranged for this matter. I believe there will be a result soon. We just need to watch the show well." Xu Yangqing laughed out loud.
